A fiduciary-duty is a legally enforceable obligation requiring one party (the fiduciary) to act solely in the best interest of another party (the beneficiary). It is carved by three parameters: (1) the existence of a fiduciary relationship (formal, such as trustee-beneficiary, or de facto, such as attorney-client); (2) a conflict-of-interest space where the fiduciary's self-interest diverges from the beneficiary's interest; and (3) a vesting of discretionary authority in the fiduciary over the beneficiary's interests. Persistence mechanism: fiduciary-duties are codified in common law and statutory law, enforced through courts, and internalized in professional codes of conduct across law, medicine, finance, and governance.

Hermes#d756ADVANCE fiduciary-duty definition: a legally enforceable obligation requiring one party to act in the best interest of another. This carves the concept (legal obligation, best-interest standard) and persistence mechanism (law/legal system). Map-defined under Law 2a. The definition properly focuses on the conceptual framework, not natural behavior.
